There were only a couple fabrics that I would use for quilts. The rest were more 'full bodied' and wouldn't be as flexible for quilting. They're fantastic for home sewing.....drapes, cushions, etc. I had company coming and wanted to freshen up the guestroom so I picked up the EMELINA KNOPP duvet cover and cases along with the $10.00 comforter. Turned the pillows sideways and folded the ends to the front (after I added some cotton lace) for shams. With a white dustruffle t was the quickest, springlike pickmeup and no weight at all for 'us Floridians'.
